Phillips Insurance Associates, Inc has been selected to be part of an elite group of independent insurance agencies around the United States participating in the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA or the Big “I”) “Best Practices” Study Group.

Only 254 independent agencies throughout the U.S. qualified for inclusion in the 2016Best Practices Study. An IIABA affiliated state association or an insurance company must first nominate the agency which then must qualify based on outstanding customer retention, growth, stability and financial management. More than 1,800 agencies were nominated this year.

The Best Practices Study was initiated by IIABA in 1993 as the foundation for efforts to improve agency performance. The annual study of leading independent insurance agencies, which is conducted for IIABA by Reagan Consulting of Atlanta, Ga., documents the business practices of these high performance agencies and urges others to adopt similar practices.

Hundreds of workshops and seminars have been conducted at various producer association functions, company sponsored agency meetings and national automation users group conventions.

The IIABA and Reagan Consulting jointly maintain the Best Practices Gateway website (http://www.reaganconsulting.com/research/best-practices/) that provides executive summaries of the annual Best Practices Studies, the Best Practices Study Comparison Workbook tool and ordering information for Best Practices products. The Gateway, as well as the annual study, is made possible in part through the financial sponsorship of various insurance companies and industry organizations.

Phillips Insurance Associates, Inc was founded in 1977 (Phillips Insurance Group) and offers a wide range of insurance products including Business, Personal, Life & Disability and Farm Insurance.

For more information on the Best Practices Study, contact Jennifer Becker at IIABA, 1-800-221-7917.

Founded in 1896, IIABA is the nation’s oldest and largest national association of independent insurance agents and brokers, representing a network of more than 300,000 agents, brokers and their employees nationally. Its members are businesses that offer customers a choice of policies from a variety of insurance companies.

Ohioians who own an All Purpose Vehicle (APV), Off-Road Motorcycle, or Snowmobile should be aware that recent changes to Ohio law now require certain APV’s to be registered with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). If you own one of these vehicles that needs to be registered, your insurance coverage, particularly the liability coverage provided by your homeowners insurance policy, could be affected.

In order to determine if your homeowner’s liability coverage is still providing insurance protection when operating your APV, we make the following recommendations:

If the answer is yes, check with your insurance agent to see if the liability coverage of your homeowner’s policy still applies to your APV. There are several options available to obtain the coverage you need. Give us a call and we will be happy to help you.
